How much does HDB renovation cost in Singapore?

HDB renovation costs in Singapore typically range from S$30,000 to S$80,000 depending on flat type (3-room to 5-room), scope of work, materials chosen, and whether it is a BTO or resale flat. BTO renovations tend to be more affordable as there is less hacking required. Always request itemized quotations from at least 3 HDB-registered contractors for accurate comparison.

Do I need HDB approval before renovating my flat?

Yes. HDB requires homeowners to obtain a renovation permit before starting any works. Structural alterations, hacking of walls, and changes to electrical or plumbing systems must be approved. All renovation work in HDB flats must be carried out by contractors listed in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors (DRC). Failure to comply may void insurance coverage and create legal liability.

How long does a full HDB renovation take in Singapore?

A full HDB renovation typically takes 8 to 12 weeks depending on scope and flat size. BTO renovations without extensive hacking may be completed in 6 to 8 weeks. Condo and landed property renovations may take longer due to management approvals and more complex structural works.
